Empire showrunner Lee Daniels defended recent domestic-abuse allegations against the Fox series’ star, Terrence Howard, on Wednesday. “[Terrence] ain’t done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn, and all of a sudden he’s some f—in’ demon,” Daniels said. “That’s a sign of the time, of race, of where we are right now in America.” Howard has attributed his previous arrests for domestic abuse to “not knowing how to deal with frustration.”
